California advances grocery store plastic bag ban
The California Assembly on Wednesday approved a bill that would ban stores from providing plastic bags, and require them to charge for paper ones. Similar bans are in place in China and Bangladesh.
California legislators are determined to win Obama's "Race To The Bottom".
Their plan to win is showing great promise. First off, California legislators are refusing to balance the budget, which is currently short by about $20 billion short. By not balancing the budget, the California legislators are insuring that government employees will go on strike to collect their wages. This will also help the California economy by forcing business that supply the state with goods and services to go bankrupt when they can't pay their bills because California won't pay it's bills.
California legislators plans to balance the budget are equally farsighted. They are planning on selling off public buildings as well as parks and recreational facilities to real estate developers. I am eagerly looking forward to the time when the all government offices are shut down and government employees evicted when the State of California can't make the rent payments.
Alternative plans to win the "Race To The Bottom" include innovative ways to deal with the overcrowding in prisons. By increasing arrests for misdemeanors, the overcrowding problem is made worse. The solution that California legislators have come up with is to provide early release for violent felons and not provide parole services for the early releases. Which is not as bad as you would think. After all, rapist kidnappers can easily harbor kidnap victims for 20 or more years while under supervision and not get noticed.
One plan that the California legislators are contemplating, is doubling or tripling the tax rates on any businesses that haven't yet failed and on legal citizens that haven't yet declared bankruptcy. Adding more people to the welfare and unemployment rolls is always good for a federal bailout. If increasing the taxes is not enough, making California a magnet state for unemployed and alien invaders is destined to overwhelm the welfare and unemployment rolls, thus forcing the federal government to give California an even larger bailout.
An of course the one plan that all legislators always approve of. Giving themselves raises.
As you can see, the California legislators have the not balancing the budget problem well in hand. So it makes sense that the California legislators move on to other important issues. Like ignoring the failing economy. But how will the California legislators deflect attention from their unwillingness to balance the budget and save the economy?
Easy. The California legislators will work on legislation that is near and dear to the "green party" and other socialist groups. Like whether grocery stores should use paper or plastic bags. Obviously this is a much more important issue than balancing the budget, saving the economy, or letting violent felons out of prison early.
Aren't you glad that California politicians are hard at work doing whatever it is that politicians do?
